OPEN THE SEASON IN STYLE
Food&Fuel is back at Bicester Motion to kick 2026 off in style as we welcome some serious machines, some of the best street food around and some special guests along to join us.
Our story started at Bicester and if you were a part of it in 2025, you know what its all about - bringing people together to share their love for cars, great food, and good company.
Schedule for the day
-
09:30 | Showcar Arrival (Gate A) Nobody likes waiting for the person in front like at the M6 Toll, so have your tickets ready for our gate staff when you arrive.
-
10:15 | General Admission Arrival For those of you not showing off your pride and joy, arrival starts now. Please park with the same enthusiasm as a drug dealer evading police.
-
10:30 | It's lights out and away we go! Doors officially open. Try not to pull a Hamiliton and overshoot the first corner (the coffee stand).
-
11:00 | Big Nath’s Surf ’N’ Turf Demo Big Nath kicks things off by proving that cows and crustaceans can indeed coexist—mostly by being delicious at the same time. It’s the ultimate crossover event since Marvel, but with more butter.
-
12:00 | Gurt Wings: Wing Eating Competition (Round 1) Time to watch grown adults ruin their shirts and their dignity for the sake of poultry. It's the only sport where "crying from spice" is considered a tactical maneuver.
-
13:00 | Big Nath’s Al Pastor Demo Nath is back on the tools for a masterclass in Al Pastor. Come for the tacos, stay for the hypnotic sight of spinning meat. It’s basically meat-based therapy.
-
14:00 | Gurt Wings: Wing Eating Competition (Round 2) "Mr. President, there has been a second wing eating competition..." Gurt Wings returns to see who has the stomach capacity of a transit van and the spice tolerance of a ghost pepper.
-
15:00 | Big Nath’s Tokyo Drift: Glazed Steak & Venison A demo featuring Glazed Steak and Venison. It’s called Tokyo Drift because the flavors hit you sideways—and because "Venison" is just beef for people who like their dinner to have had a more active social life.
-
16:30 | Finish Line The day ends. Please exit in an orderly fashion and try to explain to your family why you smell like burnt rubber and BBQ sauce.
Keeping the culture alive and the wheels turning for our First Course at Bicester is our title sponsor Fuel Off Road!
